Global Firewall Configuration

START / STOP Windows Firewall Service

By default, rules or options won't be applied
if the Windows Firewall Service is stopped. With this configuration,
firewall rules or options can be installed regardless of the service
state on the target machine.

Turn ON / OFF Windows Firewall

You can turn ON, turn OFF
the Windows Firewall altogether.

Allow Firewall exceptions

Enable / disable ALL firewall exceptions.

Notify when Windows Firewall blocks a new program

Set this option if you want the user to be prompted
for permission each time a program tries to open Windows
sockets.

Allow unicast responses to multicast/broadcast traffic

This property should be set if the firewall must
not allow unicast responses to multicast and broadcast traffic. If a
machine sends a broadcast packet, a unicast response is allowed for
three seconds.
